Durant appeared on stage for a Q&amp;A session with the Argentina soccer team and walked past the entire squad, including superstar Lionel Messi, and former Patriots great Tom Brady<\/a>. After Brady finished asking Messi his question, Durant was the next guest to appear on the stage. Durant came out on the stage with a smirk on his face. He walked behind the Argentina team and was handed the microphone by Brady. He then said hello to the other guests on the stage, including comedian Kevin Hart and Spain head coach Luis de la Fuente. Once Durant received the microphone, he said, \u201cI got a question for [Emi Mart\u00ednez] right here,\u201d Durant said, leaving Mart\u00ednez pointing at himself and appearing shocked. Durant went on to say, \u201cYes, you,\u201d while looking toward Mart\u00ednez.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/07\/18\/sports\/kevin-durant-snubs-lionel-messi-argentina-soccer-players-at-fanatics-fest\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:New York Post;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;New York Post&quot;}\" class=\"link \">New York Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Warriors two-time NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant had an awkward moment during Friday\u2019s Fanatics Fest in New&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":812102,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[434],"tags":[285006,49,48,6695,66889,10884,283643,459,84043,82,12486,47621],"class_list":["post-812101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-argentina-soccer-team","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-kevin-durant","tag-kevin-hart","tag-lionel-messi","tag-luis-de-la-fuente","tag-nba","tag-nba-finals-mvp","tag-sports","tag-tom-brady","tag-warriors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=812101"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812101\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/812102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=812101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=812101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=812101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
